SELF-PRESERVATION; OR PURSUIT

Commissioned by the National New Play Network, Self-Preservation; or Pursuit is intended to be listened to while walking due east from the intersection of 6th and D Streets NW in Washington, DC—beginning under the awning of the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company—toward Union Station. The complete project featured four unrelated podcast plays, each written by a different author and each leading the listener in a different cardinal direction away from the theater.

Written and directed by Gwydion Suilebhan, Self-Preservation; or Pursuit stars John Lescault (whose name is unfortunately mispronounced by the voice doing the introduction). The sound engineer for the project was Chris Baine.
